Market Snapshot
Benchmark indices surged mid-session, with the Nifty reclaiming the 25,000 mark for the first time since October 17, 2024, after a 141-session gap, driven by strong across-the-board buying.
The day began on a muted note amid mixed global cues and early volatility, but momentum picked up sharply in the second half of the session.
All sectoral indices closed in the green, led by strong gains in Auto and Realty stocks, while index heavyweights powered the rally, resulting in relative underperformance of the Midcap and Smallcap segments.

Top News
Cement stocks gained sharply on May 15, with names like ACC, Ambuja Cement, Shree Cement, JK Cement, and Dalmia Bharat rising up to 4%, driven by strong Q4FY25 results and optimism for FY26 demand.
Shree Cement led the rally, reporting a 46% QoQ jump in EBITDA and its highest-ever quarterly sales volume of 9.84 million tonnes, supported by better pricing and operational efficiency.
Persistent Systems declined 3.6%, reacting to the abrupt resignation of UnitedHealth Group’s CEO and the withdrawal of its 2025 financial guidance, which raised concerns over client stability.
